Commentary on DCFC's Tourist just for you

On our drive back from Westwood, I took the initiative to over annoy my driver. I heard it before, but it didn't stick with me. But that was a few months ago when I was a few months younger. Now Death Cab's You Are A Tourist will be on repeat a lot this month. Some old fans might hate this because it's just too... positive! My comments will be in parenthesis, and when I say comments, I mean stupid, strange words that will make you raise your eyebrow. Imagine a lot of gusto! And raised arms! And random sounds in between as I try to explain this song to you.

When there's a burning in your heartAn endless yearning in your heart (YES!)Build it bigger than the sun (the sun is so big, wow go for it!)Let it grow, let it grow (grow as big as the sun, if you can!)When there's a burning in your heartDon't be alarmed (don't be scared, yes you can have aspirations and desires!)This fire grows higher (YES IT DOES!)When there's a doubt within your mind (don't doubt, how dare you!)Because you're thinking all the time (remember, thinking is only intended for do or die exams)Framing rights into wrongs (no, the cup is half full, bro)Move along, move along (American rejects)When there's a doubt within your mind (negative pops up, crush it, erase it, don't give it attention!)When there's a burning in your heart (again)And you think it'll burst apart (it's too good to be true, don't let me jinx it)Or there's nothing to feelSave the tears, save the tears (stop being such a negative nancy)When there's a burning in your heartAnd if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were bornThen it's time to go (fuck, this is my favorite line, hi hi ) And define your destinationThere's so many different places to call home (there is, got me thinking, gone gone)Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have writtenIt's plain to see (you are the sole controller of your story, write a great one, be a hero)That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptionsWould you agree?If so please show me (okay, i don't really care much about this part)This fire grows higherWhen there's a burning in your heart (fire! grows! higherr!)
